When I found out I was having twins I laughed.
I laughed the rest of the day out of pure nervousness and inadequacy.
Now almost 2 years after that day I am still laughing but mix in some tears and surprise. I have made it to 15 months of being a twin mom! I am pretty proud of myself. During these 15 months I have learned a few things about children and myself.
1. If one twin gets sick expect the other to follow right behind and then expect to be couped up in your house for at least a week.
2. If one gets hurt they are both hurt.
3. If I say "no" to one and they cry, sure enough the other will cry too.
4. When one is hungry so is the other.
5. When one is tired so is the other.
6. No matter if I buy 2 of the same toy they have to have what the other has and it always turns into a tear fest.
7. If I snuggle with one, the other will fuss until I snuggle with them.
8. They always have poop diapers at the same time.
9. If one wakes up at night the other is not far behind and n I should just plan on both of them waking up.
10. They like to climb into one another beds.
11. They like to feed one another.
12. They have staring contests.
13. If one reaches a milestone, you can bet the other will reach the same within a week.
14. They may not look alike but they act alike.
15. Lastly they love each other like we will never understand.
I have learned about myself that I am not as patient as I used to be but then sometimes I am very patient. It has been a crazy bumpy ride but I wouldn't change a thing.
